Lentil Sloppy Joes

If someone offered me lentil sloppy joes a few years ago, I probably would have laughed. And yet, it's funny how things can change because--seriously!--I think I prefer these lentil sloppy joes to the original meat version. These have all the flavor without the guilt. Believe me, I know how crazy this sounds, but I don't think I'll ever make sloppy joes with meat again.

Directions1) Saute onions and bell pepper in olive oil until onions are opaque. Add garlic, chili powder, and lentils, stirring for 1 minute. 2) Add water and bring to a boil. Cook on medium low, covered, for 20-30 minutes or until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
